Support us
Together, we can ensure no child's educational success is limited by their background.
Together, we can rewrite the future
Every child deserves a future full of promise. But for too many children growing up in poverty and disadvantage, that future is shaped early by unequal access to education. Too often, potential is limited not by talent or ambition, but by circumstance.
We exist to change that. As one of the UK's leading education charities, we work to ensure no child's success is defined by their background — training and supporting teachers and leaders, strengthening schools, and working where the need is greatest.
Whether you're a business, a philanthropist, a trust or foundation, your support can help us rewrite the future for more pupils and create lasting change for the children who need it most.
Join us — and help make that future a reality for every child.
Why we need your support
Across England, the odds are stacked against young people growing up in poverty.
Over 2 million children

1 in 3 children miss out
One in three pupils aren't reaching their potential due to inequality.
5x more teacher vacancies
Pupils in the poorest areas miss out on qualified teachers.
Twice as likely to fall behind
More pupils leave school without strong English and maths GCSEs.
But your support can help flip the script. You can help us reach more pupils, develop great teachers and leaders and drive real progress towards ending educational inequality.
